Felipe Francisco Enrique Cazals Siena (28 July 1937 – 16 October 2021) was a Mexican film director, screenwriter, and producer.

Together with Arturo Ripstein, Cazals was considered in Mexico as 'one of the most representative film directors of his generation'. With his films Las Inocentes (1986), Las Poquianchis (1976), El Apando (1976), and Canoa (1976), he was considered to be one of the most creative and bitter-critical[clarification needed] filmmakers in the history of Latin American movies.

Canoa was entered into the 26th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Silver Bear - Special Jury Prize.

His 1973 film Aquellos años was entered into the 8th Moscow International Film Festival where it won a Special Prize.

In 2007 he was awarded the National Prize for Arts in the Fine arts category.

He died on 16 October 2021.
